Anne Hathaway, who is generating buzz for her performance in Rachel Getting Married, has signed for a role in Alice in Wonderland, which Tim Burton is directing for The Walt Disney Studios, according to The Hollywood Reporter. Helena Bonham Carter (Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street) also has joined the film.
The movie, which stars Mia Wasikowska as Alice and Johnny Depp as the Mad Hatter, will use a combination of live action and performance-capture technology to tell the Lewis Carroll story.
Hathaway is playing the White Queen, a benevolent monarch who is deposed and banished by her sister, the Red Queen (Carter), who has an affinity for crying out, "Off with their heads!" The White Queen needs Alice to slay a creature known as the Bandersnatch.
